'Barbara Motyl' 'Enrico Vezzetti' 'Domenico Speranza' 'Luca Ulrich'] The need for objective data-driven usability testing of VR applications is becoming more tangible with the rapid development of numerous VR applications and their increased accessibility. Traditional methods of testing are too time and resource…

The persistence of the science to service gap is evidence that evidence is not enough when defining evidence-based programs. Innovations must be developed with attention to the internal and external validity of the innovations themselves so that innovations can be replicated and scaled. This paper outlines the…

During the process of digital-system development from prototype to live implementation, differences in user interactions, perceived usability, and overall satisfaction can emerge. These differences often arise due to various factors, which may include the fidelity of the software prototype, the limitations of the…

Explicit emphasis on teaching science process skills leads to both gains in the skills themselves and, strikingly, deeper understanding of content. Here, we created and tested a series of online, interactive tutorials with the goal of helping undergraduate students develop science process skills. We designed the…

In recent years, attention has increasingly focused on enhancing user satisfaction with user interfaces, spanning both mobile applications and websites. One fundamental aspect of human-machine interaction is the concept of web usability. In order to assess web usability, the A/B testing technique enables the comparison…

Background Usability tests provide important insight into user preferences, functional issues, and differences between target groups for health interventions and products. However, there is limited guidance on how to adapt the usability testing approach for a youth audience, especially for digital health interventions.…

Usability is often defined as the ability of a system to carry out specific tasks by specific users in a specific context. Usability evaluation involves testing the system for its expected usability. Usability testing is performed in natural environment (field) or artificial environment (laboratory). The result of…

While usability evaluation is critical to designing usable websites, traditional usability testing can be both expensive and time consuming. The advent of crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk and CrowdFlower offer an intriguing new avenue for performing remote usability testing with potentially many…

Past research in HCI has generated a number of procedures for assessing the usability of interacting systems. In these procedures there is a tendency to omit characteristics of the users, aspects of the context and peculiarities of the tasks. Building a cohesive model that incorporates these features is not obvious. A…

Usability testing has long been a core interest of HCI research and forms a key element of industry practice. Yet our knowledge of it harbours striking absences. There are few, if any detailed accounts of the contingent, material ways in which usability testing is actually practiced. Further, it is rare that industry…

Background User-centered design approaches have gained attention over the past decade, aiming to tackle the technology acceptance issues of wearable robotic devices to assist, support or augment human capabilities. While there is a consensus that usability is key to user-centered design, dedicated usability evaluation…

According to Brooke [3] "Usability does not exist in any absolute sense; it can only be defined with reference to particular contexts." That is, one cannot speak of usability without specifying what that particular usability is characterized by. Driven by the feedback of a reviewer at an international conference, I…

'Silvia T. Acuña' 'Natália Juristo'] Abstract— Context: The usability software quality attribute aims to improve system user performance. In a previous study, we found evidence of the impact of a set of usability characteristics from the viewpoint of users in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction.…

The manufacturing process of batteries can be complex and time-consuming. We introduce a new version of the digital twin of our lithium ion battery pilot line, Simubat 4.0 Gen-2, based on a new combination of Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality. This digital twin is designed to deliver training on the lithium-ion battery…

Developing new software tools for analysis of large-scale, biological data is a key component of advancing computational, data-enabled research. Scientific reproduction of published findings requires running computational tools on data generated by such studies, yet little attention is presently allocated to the…

The lack of user-centered design principles in the current landscape of commonly-used bioinformatics software tools poses challenges for novice genomics researchers (NGRs) entering the genomics ecosystem. Comparing the usability of one analysis software to that of another is a non-trivial task and requires evaluation…

Parkinson’s disease (PD) causes difficulties with everyday manual activities, but few studies have addressed these therapeutically. Training with action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) can significantly improve performance in healthy individuals, particularly when these techniques are applied simultaneously…

The analysis of eye-movements is a non-invasive, reliable and fast method to detect and quantify brain (dys-)functions. Here, we investigated the performance of two novel eye-trackers: the Thomas-Oculus-Motus-research mobile (TOM-rm) and the TOM-research stationary (TOM-rs) and compared it with the performance of a…

Reaction time testing is widely used in computerized cognitive assessments, and clinical studies have repeatedly shown it to be a sensitive indicator of cognitive function. Typically, the reaction time test is administered by presenting a subject with a visual stimulus on a computer monitor and prompting the individual…
